أرسل اتحاد الكرة خطابًا إلى نادي الزمالك، للرد عليه بشأن موعد انتهاء الموسم الحالي من المسابقات، وموعد التعاقد مع لاعبين جدد وإنهاء عقود لاعبيه الخاصة بالموسم الجاري.

ومن المقرر أن ينتهي عقد أحمد سيد زيزو مع الزمالك، بنهاية الموسم الحالي 2024-2025، لكن النقطة الجدلية تتمثل في هل بعد نهاية مباراة كأس مصر، أم انتهاء بطولة كأس عاصمة مصر “الرابطة”، بعد خطاب القلعة البيضاء أمس إلى اتحاد الكرة.

وعلم بطولات أن اتحاد الكرة أخطر مسؤولي الزمالك أن نهاية الموسم ستكون غدًا 5 يونيو مع انتهاء مباراة الفريق الأبيض أمام بيراميدز في نهائي الكأس.

وشدد أنه يحق له التعاقد مع أي لاعبين من ناد آخر ويحق للاعبيه المنتهية عقودهم الانتقال لناد آخر، وجاء في الخطاب أن الموسم يبدأ بمسابقات الكأس أو الدوري أيهما أسبق وينتهي بنهايتهما.

ورد خطاب اتحاد الكرة على طلب الزمالك بنهاية الموسم يوم 12 يونيو مع كأس الرابطة، قائلًا: “البطولة غير رسمية وغير مدرجة ضمن بطولات الاتحاد طبقا للمادة 79 بلائحة النظام الأساسي”.

وبناء على ما سبق فأن أحمد سيد زيزو يحق له التوقيع والانضمام إلى أي فريق بداية من يوم 6 يونيو الجاري.

وشهدت الفترة الأخيرة أنباء قوية تؤكد انضمام لاعب الزمالك إلى النادي الأهلي، حيث إن عقدة سينتهي رسميًا بعد نهائي كأس مصر أمام بيراميدز.

West Ham want to sign "superstar" striker for £0; he’s Potter’s top target

West Ham United are now keen on signing a “superstar” striker, having identified him as their top target for the summer transfer window, according to a report.

West Ham's striker issues

The Hammers never seem to have much luck when it comes to signing strikers, with some big-name signings such as Sebastien Haller and Gianluca Scamacca failing to adapt to life in the Premier League.

Niclas Fullkrug was also brought in last summer, but the German struggled to replicate his form in the Bundesliga prior to picking up a hamstring injury, while Michail Antonio is set to be ruled out for the foreseeable future due to a car crash.

Jarrod Bowen is always a reliable source of goals, once again getting on the scoresheet in the 1-0 victory against Arsenal yesterday, but Graham Potter is keen to bring in an out-and-out striker in the summer transfer window.

West Ham player "in talks" to leave with February transfer expected

He’s keen on a new challenge.

ByEmilio Galantini Feb 22, 2025

Talks have been opened with Corinthians forward Yuri Alberto, but the 23-year-old may just be a back-up option, as The Guardian have now revealed West Ham’s top striker target is Lille’s Jonathan David.

David is set to be available on a free transfer in the summer, upon the expiration of his Lille contract, and he is attracting the attention of some of Europe’s biggest clubs, with Inter Milan and Juventus also keen.

The report claims the Canadian now looks certain to leave Lille at the end of the season, but it remains to be seen whether the Hammers will be able to meet his high wage demands.

"Superstar" David destined for the top

The 25-year-old has been lauded as a “superstar” by Canada teammate Jonathan Osorio, and he has a very impressive goal record over the course of a number of years in Ligue 1, arriving in 2020 after impressing in Belgium with Gent.

The Brooklyn-born forward also has 31 goals in 59 games for his national side, so it is little wonder he is attracting the attention of some big clubs, and it is promising news that West Ham are in the race for his signature.

Fullkrug has struggled in his debut season at the London Stadium, scoring just twice in the Premier League, but even if he finds his feet, the 32-year-old is not of an age to lead the line for the long-term future.

The same applies to Antonio, who is now arguably in the twilight years of his career, so a younger striker will be a necessary signing in the summer, and David fits the bill at 25-years-old.

Given the Lille star’s ability, it may be difficult for the Hammers to get a deal done this summer, especially considering they are very unlikely to have European football on offer, but if they are able to pull it off, he could be an excellent long-term addition to the squad.

Mahela Jayawardene is set to leave Southern Brave in 2023 after his promotion to an overarching role as global head of performance at Mumbai Indians and their associated franchises.Reliance, the company which owns Mumbai’s teams, have acquired new franchises in the inaugural seasons of the ILT20 (MI Emirates) and SA20 (MI Cape Town). Jayawardene, who has won three IPL titles with Mumbai since his appointment as coach in 2017, moved roles in September.Related

As a result, Brave are already exploring possible replacements, with Jayawardene expected to play a role in the handover process.He coached Brave to the title in the inaugural season of the Hundred, but they struggled in 2022, finishing seventh in the eight-team tournament after their bowling attack was decimated by injury and unavailability.Welsh Fire, the only team to finish below Brave in the men’s competition in 2022, are also on the lookout for a new coach after Gary Kirsten’s departure. David Saker, who recently worked with England’s T20I team in Pakistan and Australia, is the early front-runner for the role.

Perth Scorchers crush Sydney Thunder on Warner's BBL return

The visitors needed less than 13 overs to complete the chase after Thunder made just 111

David Warner’s first appearance in the BBL for more than nine years fell flat for Sydney Thunder as tournament-leaders Perth Scorchers cruised to a nine-wicket victory in what is becoming another very impressive campaign.One of their two defeats this season came against Thunder – a surprising loss at home – but once a promising third-wicket stand between Warner and Ollie Davies had been broken that never looked like being repeated. Thunder, who were famously bowled out for 15 earlier in the season, lost 8 for 41 and couldn’t bat their 20 overs. Scorchers needed less than 13 in the chase.AJ Tye put some daylight between him and the chasing pack at the top of the wicket-taking tally in what is becoming a stellar season while Cameron Bancroft produced one of the highlights of a one-sided occasion with a spectacular boundary catch.Davies shines again It was a lone hand in Thunder’s innings. The ease with which Davies timed the ball was a stark contrast to all his team-mates, including Warner, alongside who he dominated a 67-run stand for the third wicket. “I’ll keep nudging them,” Warner said on the player mic. Davies took two straight sixes off Ashton Agar, but saved his best for a strike off Tye which went well back into the stands.A 30-ball half-century was his third fifty of the season but Agar then out-thought him as he fired one in more quickly to have him stumped as Thunder’s collapse set it.Warner’s quiet returnDecember 2013 was the last time Warner played BBL. That day he opened with Usman Khawaja and the pair added an opening stand of 116 in 11 overs. By the time Warner faced his second ball today he had lost two team-mates. He managed to get one strong pull short away against Lance Morris and a few overs later threaded a drive down the ground against Tye as the stand with Davies started to build. However, trying to pick up towards Davies’ tempo, he top-edged an attempted scoop off Matt Kelly.Payne’s promising startDavid Payne, the Gloucestershire left-arm seamer who has played one ODI for England, is one of a host of replacement overseas players Scorchers have called on this season after all their initial signings ended up unavailable for a variety of reasons.It took Payne just two balls to strike in his first appearance, taking the left-arm pace role in place of the rested Jason Behrendorff, when a curving outswinger drew an edge from Matthew Gilkes. Later in the innings, with Thunder trying to engineer a platform for a late use of the power surge, a well-directed short ball brought a top edge from the dangerous Daniel Sams which was held at long leg.It was a team effort from the Scorchers attack with all five bowlers finding success and sending down 63 dot balls in 19 overs. Tye’s fine tournament continued with another three scalps as he became the first to reach the 20-wicket mark for the season.Bancroft’s all-round nightBancroft had a superb evening on the field and then calmly went about the simple chase. In a display where Scorchers barely put a foot wrong, Bancroft’s two catches were especially impressive. He went low to remove Ben Cutting at midwicket, the batter standing his ground before the third umpire confirmed the take was clean. But better was to come in the 19th over when he ran around from long-on and flew full-length at top speed to pluck out Nathan McAndrew’s well-struck pull while still being able to keep himself inside the rope.Barring anything silly the chase was never going to be in doubt and the game was over long before the opening stand of 77 between Bancroft and Stephen Eskinazi was broken. For Eskinazi, another overseas replacement, it was his first significant contribution in his third outing. Bancroft skipped to a 36-ball fifty when he sent consecutive deliveries from Usman Qadir for six and four.

O Verdão também está fazendo história do lado de fora dos gramados com a analista de desempenho Vanessa Fernanda, primeira representante alviverde em uma comissão técnica da equipe comandada por Pia Sundhage.

Titular em todos os jogos do time paulista no Brasileirão, a meia Duda Santos conta com quatro gols marcados e três assistências na temporada. Sobre a convocação, a atleta fez questão de agradecer ao clube do coração.

– Estou muito feliz por esse momento. Devo tudo ao Palmeiras e às minhas companheiras. Estamos jogando muito bem e creio que isso fez com que eu chegasse à Seleção Brasileira. É a minha primeira competição oficial e espero fazer bons jogos – declarou.

Após ficar fora dos gramados por cerca de dois meses, Ary se recuperou de uma lesão no menisco do joelho esquerdo, ganhou minutos na goleada do Alviverde contra o Cresspom antes da parada para a Copa América e continua sendo nome de confiança da técnica Pia Sundhage.

– Estou vindo de boas convocações e boas atuações. Espero poder voltar no mesmo nível que eu estava ou até melhor, pois estou me preparando para isso – disse a camisa 8.

Logo de cara, o Brasil irá estrear contra a Argentina, neste sábado, às 21h, no estádio Centenário, pelo grupo B da competição. O duelo marcará um encontro de Palestrinas, já que a zagueira Agustina, no Verdão desde 2020, estará em campo defendendo as cores do adversário.

– O primeiro confronto da Argentina vai ser contra o Brasil, uma seleção que é potência no mundo, mas não podemos esquecer o trabalho que a Argentina vem fazendo. Em relação a enfrentar as meninas, vai ser bem especial. Sempre estamos torcendo pelo triunfo de cada uma, mas, na hora de defender a seleção, claro que cada uma vai querer a vitória – comentou.

O embate pode também ser histórico para uma jogadora em especial. Trata-se da atacante Bia Zaneratto. Se entrar em campo, a camisa 10 ultrapassará Sissi, primeira jogadora do Verdão a balançar as redes em uma Copa do Mundo, e se tornará a Palestrina com mais jogos pela Seleção Brasileira em toda a história – atualmente são 13 partidas disputadas.

– É sempre muito bom estar na Seleção e também é gratificante sermos reconhecidas pelo que nós fazemos no clube – ressaltou a artilheira do elenco na temporada.

Vale lembrar que a Copa América dará três vagas diretas para a Copa do Mundo FIFA da Nova Zelândia e da Austrália 2023. Além disso, a campeã e a vice continental também garantirão automaticamente a classificação para os Jogos Olímpicos de Paris 2024.

124 goals since leaving: Man Utd have already sold their answer to Mateta

It is fair to say that Manchester United have lacked a clinical and consistent number nine to lead the line at Old Trafford for a number of years now.

Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, the two senior centre-forward options available to Ruben Amorim, have combined for just five goals in the Premier League so far this season.

Zirkzee, Dalot, De Ligt

No Manchester United player has hit double figures for goals in the top-flight, with Bruno Fernandes leading the way on seven, and only three players have scored more than three times.

In fact, the last time a player scored more than ten goals in a Premier League season for the Red Devils was when Marcus Rashford found the back of the net 17 times in the 2022/23 campaign.

Manchester United are reportedly looking to address the situation when the summer transfer window opens for business later this year, as they have been linked with an interest in a player from one of their Premier League rivals.

Manchester United eyeing Premier League striker

French outlet L’Equipe, as relayed by the Mirror, reported earlier this month that the Red Devils are interested in a deal to sign Jean-Philippe Mateta from Crystal Palace.

The report claimed that talks have already been held between United and the player’s representatives to explore a potential move to Old Trafford for the French centre-forward at the end of the season.

It also revealed that the Eagles are poised to demand a fee of £40m for the former Mainz marksman this summer, and it remains to be seen whether or not Manchester United are prepared to pay that much for the Palace sensation.

The Mirror added that Amorim’s dream recruit for the upcoming summer transfer window would be Sporting star Viktor Gyokeres, whom he managed during his time in Portugal, but that the player’s £80m release clause is deemed to be too rich for the club to afford due to their debt in excess of £1billion.

This means that, at half the price, Mateta could emerge as a cost-effective addition for the Portuguese head coach to bolster his attacking options for the 2025/26 campaign and beyond.

His form for Crystal Palace since the start of last season, at least, suggests that he could come in and offer more than Hojlund and Zirkzee have provided the team in front of goal in the Premier League for the Red Devils, who have been severely lacking in the striker department.

Why Man Utd should sign Jean-Philippe Mateta

At £40m, Mateta could be viewed as a bargain signing for the club when you consider that a £72m deal was agreed with Atalanta for Hojlund and the Reds paid £36.5m to land Zirkzee from Bologna.

United, therefore, paid in excess of £100m to create their current strikeforce and have, so far, received five goals from them combined in the Premier League, which does not feel like value for money.

Mateta, meanwhile, has hit double figures for goals in the top-flight in each of the last two seasons and could arrive to provide Amorim with a reliable presence in the number nine position next term.

Stats via Sofascore

As you can see in the table above, the £40m-rated star has been incredibly productive at the top end of the pitch for the Eagles, with 28 goals and 12 ‘big chances’ created in the league since the start of last season.

These statistics also show that Mateta is clinical with the chances that come his way in the Premier League, as it has only taken 22.20 xG for him to score 28 times.

As you can see in the clips above, Mateta has the ability to score a variety of goals, whether that be with his head, his right foot, his left foot, from close range, by chipping the goalkeeper, or by driving forward past defenders to score.

Manchester United, however, once had their own version of the Palace star in the form of Romelu Lukaku, who they sold to Inter for £73m in the summer of 2019.

Why Lukaku was Manchester United's own Mateta

Firstly, both players offer a physical presence in the centre-forward position, as Mateta stands at a colossal 6 foot 4 and Lukaku is just one inch shorter at 6 foot 3, which means that they can both hold their own against strong central defenders.

Where Are They Now

Secondly, they are both clinical finishers who do not need too many opportunities to find the back of the net.

Throughout his career at club level, the Belgium international has scored 169 goals from an xG of 160.98, which speaks to his ability to consistently tuck away his chances.

Lukaku scored 16 goals in 34 Premier League matches in his debut season at Old Trafford in the 2017/18 campaign and if you compare his form that term to Mateta’s form for Palace last term there are a lot of similarities.

As you can see in the chart above, aside from the defensive side of the game, both players excel in similar areas when they are at the top of their game, albeit the Belgian star was more effective in front of goal in that particular campaign.

Sky Sports reported at the time of his departure in 2019 that he was keen to move on from Old Trafford because he was unhappy that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer came in and dropped him from the team in the previous season, when he managed 12 goals in 32 league outings.

Romelu Lukaku for Manchester United

Lukaku, who was described as “physically devastating” by Udinese goalkeeper Juan Musso, then went on to score 64 goals in all competitions for Inter in the next two seasons combined.

He has played for Chelsea, Inter again, Roma, and Napoli since then, only failing to score ten league goals in a season once, and has scored ten times in 26 Serie A matches for Napoli so far this term.

Amorim has just discovered Man Utd's next big star & it's not Heaven or Obi

Manchester United have a number of exceptional young players at their disposal.

1 ByMatt Dawson Mar 10, 2025

In all, he’s found the net 124 times since leaving, with the 31-year-old forward consistently proving his ability as a powerful, goalscoring, number nine – at United and elsewhere. As a result, they may rue their decision to sell him in 2019, as they have failed to adequately replace him in the past six years.

They already had their own version of Mateta and may now have to shell out another £40m, on top of the £100m+ that they paid for Hojlund and Zirkzee, in an attempt to finally replace the goals that Lukaku almost guaranteed when he played.

KKR bring in Jason Roy as replacement player

English batter gets INR 2.8 crore deal with Shreyas Iyer and Shakib Al Hasan already ruled out for the franchise

ESPNcricinfo staff05-Apr-2023

Jason Roy last played the IPL in 2021 for Sunrisers Hyderabad•BCCI

Kolkata Knight Riders have signed up England batter Jason Roy as a replacement player with two of their big names Shreyas Iyer and Shakib Al Hasan already out of the tournament. Knight Riders signed Roy for INR 2.8 crore (USD 341,000 approx.); his base price listed at the pre-season auction was INR 1.5 crore (USD 183,000 approx.).Most English players are only permitted to sign replacement deals at the IPL before a cut-off date of March 1, in order to help their counties plan for the early months of the County Championship season. However, players with ECB central contracts or incremental deals are eligible to be signed after that date. Roy lost his central contract in October, but still has an incremental deal.Roy last played the IPL in 2021, having opted out last year – after being bought by Gujarat Titans in the auction – while taking an indefinite break from cricket. In 2021 he represented Sunrisers Hyderabad and scored 150 runs from five games, averaging 30 and striking at 123.96.In 2020 too he had opted out of the IPL because of personal reasons, when he was with Delhi Capitals.Knight Riders have played just one game so far, which they lost to Punjab Kings by seven runs (DLS method) in Mohali. They play their second game against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Thursday at their home ground Eden Gardens.They have lost Iyer to a lower-back injury for which he needs surgery, and Shakib has opted out of the season for personal reasons.
